Inspiron 14R annoyances on Natty

This is a list of annoyances I’ve discovered on the Dell Inspiron 14R running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).

Switching display options with an external monitor attached results in a black screen with only the mouse cursor visible

The buttons above the keyboard do not map properly.

Touchpad is very sensitive, which causes accidental palm clicks

Turning off bluetooth through the Indicator Applet disconnects both WiFi and bluetooth. Turning it back on, leaves the radio off. You can restore connectivity by using the radio on/off switch on the keyboard (Fn+F2)
